We recently wrote about the 2 GB graphics card monster from Diamond, but another big player in the industry, Sapphire, is taking an alternate route, putting two ATI 2600 chips on one board, with up to 1 GB of DDR3 memory.

The GPUs are based on the modest 2600 chips, both running at 800 MHz, with the DDR3 memory running at 1600 MHz. It also has 4 DVI ports, making it possible to hook up four monitors, which will attract a lot of 3+ monitor users (since you don’t need any other device besides the graphics card). It will be available in two variants, a 512 MB and a 1 GB version, retailing for $260 and $280, respectively.
